Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are tasked with designing a FinFET for a high-speed application. Discuss the parameters you would manipulate (number of fins, fin height, gate length) and how they would influence performance.

💡 Hint: Think about how all these parameters interact in practical designs.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze how the effects of DIBL might lead to challenges in FinFET design at very small geometries (<7 nm) and suggest solutions.

💡 Hint: Consider ways to enhance control over threshold behavior.
